PSG ace Mbappe: I deserve the money I earn

PSG ace Kylian Mbappe has dismissed criticism of the money he earns.

Off contract in Jun, it's suggested Real Madrid are offering Mbappe €30m-a-year to move to Spain. PSG, meanwhile, are claimed to be willing to pay the striker €100m-a-year to stay.

The truth is that I don't know exactly...," he responded when asked for his salary;. "At 12 years old, I also thought that there was too much money in football.

"I deserve the money I earn. I didn't steal it from anyone. That's how the world works."

Mbappe's lawyer Delphine Verheyden also said on Envoyé Spécial: "There is no guilt or shame. If we had been able to accept 10,000 million, we would have done it because it is the system that wants that."
